Community Impact Board funds Bryce Canyon City rec center, projects for Brian Head and Tropic
By Christina Davis
The Community Impact Board voted Feb. 7 to fund the construction of a community recreation center in Bryce Canyon City. The 11,840-square-foot facility will provide a weight lifting room, a gymnasium, and restrooms, and the city will receive a $1.2 million low-interest loan and a $459,000 grant from the board.
The Community Impact Board also voted to provide Bryce Canyon City and the Town of Tropic with funding to complete general plans. Each municipality will receive a grant to cover half of the cost of developing the new plans. For Bryce Canyon City, the grant is for $20,000, and for Tropic, the amount is $11,000.
The board also approved a $734,000 low-interest loan for the Town of Brian Head to complete street improvements, including paving, culverts, and manholes.
“Helping these small towns to better plan for their future is an essential part of what the Community Impact Board is all about,” said Beaver County Commissioner Mike Dalton. “These planning projects will make a difference for these towns for years to come.
